How we handle shower tray repair in Top Valley

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We work on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are a crack across the base and a dull, stained or worn surface.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Top Valley, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we are called out for in Top Valley

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Repair or replace in Top Valley?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
